I'm completely confused. When I first arrived here on a visit visa I was only allowed to drive for a week with a UK licence (I didn't think to take an IDP). I then took out a temporary driving licence which expired along with my business visa. I picked up an IDP on holiday and understood that it was valid for three months so this is how I am currently driving until my RP is processed. All of this was confirmed/insisted apon by the car hire company. It sounds like all of these options have been superceded according to the article. Does this mean that there are no more temporary driving licences? By the sound of this article you just go along to the local cop shop, show him any driving licence and if Mr Delmmonte says yes, then it's whacky races! I guess it will only be clarified when/if I have an accident!
